We have to say that we thought the Buick Enclave concept, which we saw at Detroit, was very well-executed, in contrast to the Lucerne, which looks to us like a pile of plastic junk. AutoWeek spent some time with the non-running (read: broken) vehicle and came back with this:

"If the final execution is undertaken with the same level of attention to detail and indeed, pride in one's workmanship that is evident in the show car, Buick will have raised itself a notch, from matching its Lucerne up against the Toyota Avalon to going head to head with the best-selling Lexus RX series."

Yeah, but how much you wanna bet that the final execution won't be undertaken that way?
